The Company’s 401(k) plan covers all of the U.S. employees beginning the first of the month following the first month of their employment.  Under this plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 15% of their current compensation to the 401(k) plan up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit.  The Company matches 100% of the employee’s elective deferrals up to 4% of their compensation.  The Company may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan but there were no discretionary contributions during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.  The Company also contributes to various defined contribution retirement plans for foreign employees.  Contributions for foreign employees increased for the year ended December 31, 2021 because employer contributions to Chinese government sponsored retirement programs were suspended during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and because contributions for Smarteq employees commenced in 2021.
